Lynn's Pear Orange Marmalade

12 firm ripe Northwest Bartlett pears, pared, cored, and coarsely chopped
2 oranges (thin skinned), thinly sliced and quartered
5 cups sugar
2 tablespoons lime OR lemon juice


Directions:

Combine pears, oranges, sugar and lime juice in a large kettle. Bring to a boil over medium to low heat; stir until sugar dissolves. Cook rapidly about 20 minutes or until thickened and mixture sheets off a metal spoon. Watch carefully that the marmalade does not scorch. Ladle into clean hot canning jars to within 1/8 inch of tops. Seal according to jar manufacturer's directions.

Place jars on rack in canner. Process 10 minutes in boiling water 2 inches above jar tops. Remove carefully, and place on wire racks or thick cloth; cool away from drafts. After 12 hours test lids for proper seal. Remove rings from sealed jars.
